They have not seriously retarded our engineering — which has been more rapidly executed than as much work by any previous army. Right in their teeth our hardy thousands have built fifteen earthworks and thrown up parallels of miles in length. But yesterday we had a suspicious symptom.

Owing to this fact, my residence for the past two days has been in rather an exposed location, where a friend, connected with what may be called the scientific corps of the army, had been directed to pitch his tent and await orders.

I would also call your especial attention to Bugler Horne, who, until wounded sounded the various commands with as much coolness and nonchalance as though on the parade-ground instead of the battle-ground.

There are many non-commissioned officers and privates to whose names I would individually be pleased to call your attention, did space permit, but suff
